I am a 69 year old American woman and took a chance on a 'hostel' in Florence. I will choose Ostello Bello for all of my Florence stays from this day forward. I reserved a single room which was large (for a hostel) and quiet. Ostello Bello has free wifi (I was on a working vacation), fun activities for all, the location is PERFECT. Staff is patient, helpful, and a free drink on arrival set the tone for the weekend.
